Chris Denslow captures the best angle I've seen so far of the run-up to the U-16 flip. U-16 and U-1 are very close together on the turn. Decide for yourself what happens, but the boats appear feet apart at one part right before the flip.

"When I saw the U3 go down, I had a big smile,” said U-5 FormulaBoats.com driver Jeff Bernard. “Then I looked to my right and I saw my teammate J Michael Kelly. Well I knew I had my work cut out for me.

“We have two boats for one team but when it comes to that last heat, it is every man for himself.”

The U-16 Elam was brought back to shore after the flip in Heat 1A, but was unable to make the start for Heat 2A. The Elam team withdrew for the heat, but has not withdrawn for the weekend while they assess the damage to the boat. You may remember that Dave Villwock and the Elam team managed to win a race in the Tri-Cities after flipping and putting the boat back together in 2006.

Going into the final turn on the final lap of Heat 1A, U-1 Steve David was ahead with U-16 Dave Villwock closing. Villwock went up and over and landed upside down. He was able to get out of the boat and is back in the pits.

Afetr review, David was disqualified and the U-3 was declared the winner of Heat 1A.
